First class service for a great meal! Bit pricey but everything our waiter recommended was outstanding. They're all professionals there, attentive and patient. As good as any Argentine steak house I've been too. Great atmosphere whether seated indoors or outside. Vast selections of beef, but don't underestimate the lamb or fish, both were also excellent. read more

Food was excellent. I had the tenderloin and it was cooked to perfection. I also enjoyed the cooked provolone cheese as an appetizer.

Full review at http://www.FoodSherpas.com When looking to experience one of the better steakhouses in Santiago, Chile, one should consider a trip to Happening. The two-floor restaurant has a strong reputation for serving some of the best steaks in the city while providing a generally good ambiance. I've visited Happening a few times over the years, first back in 2012 and a few times over the past 8 months. The food has remained consistent over time with some small variations to the menu. I have noticed that the capacity tends to be filled half of what it was in 2012, when the restaurant was packed on a Friday or Saturday evening. There isn't as much a need for a weekend reservation these days. But this does not take away from the quality of the food. read more

Well if this wasn't the most intriguing restaurant name, I don't know what is. A steakhouse called Happening? I must be walking into some new age restaurant that actually slices the meat off the animal in front of you. In actuality, Happening is an upper scale restaurant located in the main area of Santiago. Lots of business people dining at lunch time. There are multiple floors and the restaurant offers some of the best service that I experienced in the country. I had an assortment of dishes, all of which were pretty good. The short rib special was good, but a little over cooked. The side of steamed veggies were good and the empanadas with chorizo was excellent. All in all, a very solid meal at a good restaurant with an established reputation. Great for a business lunch or just an overall higher end dining experience in Santiago. read more

Pros: great location, nice interior and excellent service. The waitstaff is very attentive. The appetizer we had (chorizo and sautéed onions) was delicious!! Prices are not expensive, it was $90 for an app, wine, and two entrees. Cons: I would say I have been to a hefty selection of nice steakhouses across the US and a few abroad. I ordered a ribeye with a red wine reduction, mushrooms and potatoes. I really WISH I could say how amazing it was, I had my hopes up in coming here. This steak was like going to outback. I ordered medium rare and it was hardly recognizable as a ribeye, and was way over cooked. The flavor of the meat just was not great. As mentioned, the price was reasonable, so I'm glad we tried it. But I probably wouldn't recommend it or go again. read more

Fabulous grilled meats and vegetables. They clearly know what they are doing in the grill but the pasta was also wonderful. We had grilled chicken and pumpkin ravioli which were superb in preparation and taste. The wine selection is very nice but it is hard to go wrong with premier Chilean wine here. Nice selections for dessert. I took the advice of our waiter and got the chocolate cake- awesome! A bit pricey but you get value in superb food for the slightly higher price. I will come back next time. read more

Yes, very good atmosphere and food at the same time. Red vine (local) was very very good too. Hoping to come again soon. read more

This is a pretty Happening place (see what I did there?) and a great choice for taking clients out, celebrating a special occasion, etc. Don't be that person who comes here and gets the Stuffed Trout. You come here to get some great steak and pair it with some sweet, sweet Malbec from just over the Andes. Check this place out if you're in the Sanhattan area! Food: 4/5 Value: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Atmosphere: 4/5 read more

I'd give this place more stars if someone had even greeted us or taken a drink order. It's pretty but has no substance.

Trendy restaurant and enjoyable food. Ordered an empanada which was tiny and could have skipped. We split the Tomhawk and a side of creamed corn. The steak was delicious, but the cream corn was just fine. Very nice meal. Would recommend. read more

Been here twice on two different business trip with two different clients. Each experience did not disappoint! Wide selection of various cuts of steak, fine wine list that is very reasonably priced and a great atmosphere to discuss business or unwind with family/friends. I'd be happy to go back on future trips to Santiago! read more

Just incredible, I used the place for 2 business dinners in a one week span, home runs both times. The meats wines and salads were superb, and a staff that went above and beyond to keep us happy. I'll revisit, next time Im back in Santiago. read more

Great meal, Great service. I had the fillet and it was awesome. I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be back.

I love this place. Today was my 3rd visit and each time has been spectacular. The setting is very comfortable and the people working there make it that way. The clientele is the upper echelon of people in the city, but this place has never seemed snooty ....at all. The prices are reasonable for what you get, the highest quality steaks cooked perfectly and all the sides are wonderful too. Cant say enough, you must try it. read more

The best steak place in Santiago so far! I really love this place when I'm craving for meat. Very nice preparations. The place is beautiful, the location nice and the service is the best. read more

Very relaxing atmosphere for an upscale establishment. We expats have had good times over many an excellent meal with our Chilean co-workers. It is one of the best restaurants in Santiago. read more

The only other time I had a steak this good was in Buenos Aires. From the start the ambience of the menus covered in lush leather to match the leather place mats. Both the appetizers and the filet mignon were to die for, the sides equally magnificent. Then the flan and the chocolate cake with hot fudge to finish this marvelous experience. This place will rank as one of my favorites in my travels. Not to be missed. read more
